Resources for Food Growers

April 26, 2013

Regardless of the size of your operation or whether you raise food for a living or a hobby, you can find free and useful information at the library and through our digital branch. Visit the subject guides[1] for 24/7 access to a focused list of reliable online resources.

Research new growing trends, learn about different crops or find vehicle manuals. The subject guides[1] created and maintained by library staff are a good place to start. Below are two we think you’ll be interested in, but there are plenty of others to explore at www.dbrl.org/subject-guides[2].

Local Produce[4]
Find information on local farmers markets; buying and eating local produce; and community organizations.

The library also provides access to some databases and specialized online tools that can help you with gardening, farming or running a small business. You’ll need your library card number to log into these sites.

Universal Class[5]
Our online learning portal has classes on gardening basics, food storage and preservation, herbs, and other topics relevant for those making a living off the land such as accounting, bookkeeping and financial management.
